So, I've upgraded my fogs and sidelights to LEDs, which are much brighter, but they're also both about 6000k in colour rather than the OEM 4300k.

I'm not 100% certain but if you have bi-xenons it should be 1 xenon bulb for dipped and main beam with a shutter mechanism, plus a fill-in halogen main beam which comes on in addition to the xenon bulb.

Thanks Daveo. I assume you mean D1S right? And thanks Dave699, as I mentioned, I do have the adaptive bi-xenons and I know one is halogen and one is a 'proper' xenon bulb. So I'll need D1S for the main beam, H7s for the dipped beam. Cool. Now I just need confirmation on the cornering lights and I'm ready to order! Anyone know the bulb size for the static bending lamps?

I think you might be right. I was considering SMD LEDs for the H7s and H8s, but a) they're expensive and b) I don't actually know how well LEDs will perform for full beam and cornering and actually given that they're not on all the time it's less important.

Hmmm. I'd be a little worried about doing that as the Cree LEDs are so bright I might dazzle people - they'll be great cutting through a pea souper but might be a bit much for DRLs.
